Lyrics

Sleep People

Flexes lips and slips and smiles
Blocks and dresses, drugs and tails
There's nowhere deep to swim
Only selected friends with funny names

Cold eyes staring whilst you're all sleeping
In the daylight dry lips are smiling

And there's free drinks for the pencil-thin
And there's nowhere that our swungs and patios-
There's nowhere deep to swim
And the great writers of fashion

Cold eyes staring whilst you're all sleeping
In the daylight dry lips are smiling

Yeah, you all gotta go to sleep
You gotta all wake up
And dream a new dream
Dream what it used to be like
On the bakelite staircase
Where I will preside

Cold eyes staring whilst you're all sleeping
In the daylight dry lips are smiling

Wake up
Wake up
